University's research into ageing key focus of BBC news series

Experts at Newcastle University will feature in a BBC Look North news series which explores the best ways to age well.

All this week, the BBC’s Living Life Longer series will focus on the University’s key research areas into ageing to assess what people can do to aim to ensure a happy and healthy long life.

Topics covered during the week will include ways to try to prevent dementia, the importance of eating well and exercising in old age, how the brain ages, why being lonely is bad for your health, and research that can tell how well people are ageing inside.
